Jeez
Jeez ( excuse me for taking the lords name in vain in this season of .....?) but just when I thought I had a tool i.e. Wikipedia, that would suit some of my teaching needs along comes this. Although I am totally sure of the Christian Science Monitor or Andrew Keen who comments on this in his latest blog it does seem to sound the death knell to amateur generated content. I will await to see what the Beta version of Knol does before I throw away the toys.

Hi Graeme,
The link doesn't work.
Hope you have a great Christmas & New Year
sigh!
Ironic isn't it.
And that the most information I can find about Knol is on Wikipedia.
Keen is still going solo, and weaker by the minute don't you think? Perhaps you don't.. I just think its sour that anyone would wish for the death of Wikipedia or things like it.
I hope Knol does well, the more free and open content to refer to the better hey. But to think it challenges Wikipedia is to misunderstand the scope of Wikipedia. Its more likely that in that last link you will find the potential death, or insecurity of Wikipedia... or not
sorry to change topic Graeme. I am trying to get some blokes to visit my blog and give me some feedback. Would love your input if you feel able http://mymidiblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/fathers-roles-at-birth-and-parenting.html
Happy New year by the way!
